NLJ columnist Stephen Gold casts his expert eye over the extension to the residential eviction ban in this week’s Civil Way column, as well as a change of approach for judgment enforcement agents, who may now negotiate a controlled goods agreement via video. 

Gold writes: ‘Many judgment debtors are to be deprived. The chance of a burly enforcement agent breathing down their necks could be replaced with the agent’s video smile backed by wall displayed snaps of their children’.

Gold also covers the meaning of ‘immediate’ where maintenance payments are concerned.
